ABOUT THIS PROJECT
After nearly 2 decades in the east metro, MSP Commercial found their new headquarters on Penn Avenue in the form of a single-story, adaptive reuse project. With help from key project partners Fixed Assets and Pope Design Group, MSP was able to redevelop and create an award-wining workspace to support our growing team and portfolio.
PROJECT DETAILS:
The 1950s building, was originally home to a HVAC manufacturing company, and over nearly seven decades, four expansions had been added to the original structure. With exterior walls on the interior of the building and different floor grades to accommodate, the structural layout created an interesting and beautiful cohesive open office space.
Embracing the building’s history, the design features a mix of mid-century and industrial aesthetics including: open ceilings, concrete floors, CMU, geometric textiles, and an asymmetrical façade. An amenity-rich space, mental health, collaboration and ergonomic considerations were a top priority for leadership during the design process.
With a focus on work-life balance, a lounge, mother’s room/private space, fitness center, and shower room were incorporated into the building design. Additionally, a turf-carpeted recreation area offers a respite and more casual option for collaboration as well as socialization, with a shuffleboard, air hockey table and wet bar.
